Craft Lover

Nora has always been our out-of-the-box thinker. She can look at a piece of trash and see how it can be repurposed and made beautiful! Literally, everyday she will stop me from throwing something in the trash in the name of crafting. I want to cultivate and encourage her creativity!

For her birthday she received the perfect first sewing machine. It has no thread and it only sews felt but it's perfect for a beginner because you can work on patterning, cutting, pinning while still getting a finished product pretty quickly (which is great for young ones with little patience).

After completing some of the projects provided with the machine (pillow, purse, frame, etc.) she began creating her own designs.

Nora created both of these purses by herself. I was so impressed that she patterned, cut, pieced them together and then sewed them. The purse on the left even has 2 different pieces put together. She was so proud of her creations! Maybe now she can start working on her designs instead of always asking Mommy to make her creations ;)
